[WWI] airbrush

[Michael Moore]

Thinners really depends on the paint you use.  Many but not all thin and spray very well with 70% iso alcohol, Tamiya for instance (my personal favorite).  Windex also works well with some (Polly scale).  Clean water for others (Vallejo).  I've also thinned Polly Scale with Future.  I've not tried it, but there is a contingent who thin Tamiya with Laquer Thinner and swear by it.
 
I usually clean up with alcohol and or Windex.

I have an airbrush. Cheap Chinese copy but it looks good in the box. Got it off Ebay for under a tenner. I intend to use it for acrilylics (there you go, cant even spell it) What thinners should I use for thinning the paint and for cleaning?

cheers
